If anyone receives a request for donations from the GOP, return it saying "My thoughts and prayers

are with you in your time of need". With the upcoming election we all get requests no matter if we are registered Dem or not.

So it actually costs them something. Win/win.

The NRA, the Kochs, and other industry groups all fund their campaigns just fine.

11. If they didn't need it, they wouldn't bother sending the requests.

I always return a postage paid envelope if a Republican candidate is kind enough to provide one. I stuff them with printouts of the Democratic Party Platform or similar material. I do like the "thoughts and prayers" suggestion, though. I may have to do that one in the future.
